ISSUES RELATED TO THE TRANSFER
OF INSIDE WIRE USED BY BROADCASTING DISTRIBUTION UNDERTAKINGS - FOLLOW-UP
TO PUBLIC NOTICE CRTC 1997-150 |
| |
In Public Notice CRTC
1997-150 dated 22 December 1997, the
Commission announced its new Broadcasting Distribution Regulations
(the regulations). The regulations came into effect on 1 January 1998. |
| |
At paragraphs 96 and 97 of the
notice, the Commission identified a number of technical and administrative
issues associated with the transfer of inside wire which, in its view,
could be resolved most effectively by a multi-party working group. The
Commission also noted that a number of working groups, operating under the
auspices of the CRTC Interconnection Steering Committee (CISC), are
currently examining similar issues in the context of implementing
competition in local telephony. The Commission determined that it would be
appropriate to request the CISC to examine the further issues related to
the transfer of inside wire. These would include: |
| |
. processes to facilitate the
movement of a customer from one distributor to a competitor, having regard
to such things as the development of service intervals, process maps,
ordering and billing arrangements, and information exchange standards; |
| |
. agreements between distributors
on alternative demarcation points, with particular reference to
multiple-unit dwellings; |
| |
. valuation of inside wire and of
other related equipment in multiple-unit dwellings; and, |
| |
. other issues that the parties may identify. |
| |
The CISC intends to begin its
examination of these issues in the near future. Persons wishing to
participate in this process should contact Mr. Léo Mével, Chairman of the
CISC, CRTC, Ottawa, K1A 0N2 by 27 February 1998.
Alternatively, you may contact the CISC by e-mail at
leo.mevel@CRTC.gc.ca or by facsimile at
(819) 953-0795. |
